Sennheiser PC 360. bought it in 2012, still going strong.
Look for a professional gaming headset, it will be high quality and comfortable for long meetings.
I've really wanted to upgrade to something wireless, and it's a bummer they don't do replacement cords anymore. I've had to replace the cord a bunch of times because the cheap amazon ones just stop working eventually. That said I can't find anything that even compares to the quality/comfort of the game ones. I've been using these for years, and I can't find anything better, or comparable.
Almost any Sennheiser headset. I have the original PC 360 G4ME, which are modeled after the HD558, and it's genuinely the most comfortable headset I've ever had. The velour pads are incredibly soft, and the clamp strength is just right.
Even at 8+ hours of use I don't even register they're on my head. I would imagine the actual HD 558 or similar ones like the HD 560, 598, 599, 6xx etc are all just as comfortable.
I also have a Beyerdynamic DT770, and while they're comfortable they're not *as* comfortable as the Sennheisers. Closed back headphones tend to feel inherently a bit more clampy and fatiguing.
The DT990 are open back though and probably on par with Sennheiser sets.
It does depend. The original Sennheiser PC 360 G4ME was basically an HD 598, and sounded very similar.
The mic is probably the best ever fitted to a gaming headset as well.
The original Sennheiser PC 360 G4ME is the most comfortable headset I've ever worn. Genuinely can't even feel it on my head after 8+ hours. The velour pads are incredibly soft. The mic is top tier as well.
The new Drop + EPOS/Sennheiser PC38x seems to be almost identical, so I would personally go for that.
They're effectively the old Sennheiser Gaming One with some tweaks, which were, indeed, great headphones.
No idea why Sennheiser stopped making them in favour handing most of the branding to drop and going about doing something else.
I've got the GSP 600, PC38X and a H6 Pro - all these are similar and they're all great.
Paging /u/sennheiserconsumer - Just in case you do come back to look at this post, I'd like to say that the PC360 gaming headset from 2010 is the true answer to your question.
I'm utterly disappointed that sennheiser stopped doing a proper set of headphones with a good mic. The PC360 was basically an HD555 with a good raise-to-mute boom mic. There's NOTHING like it in the current line up, and that's so sad.
Mine is currently 15 years old and still going strong, although I had to bypass the volume dial since it crackled.
Please, pick up the mantle again now that EPOS isn't doing gaming headsets, and make some real headphones with a mic again.
Please?
